To make News work correctly with Genesis 2.0 (and microdata schema) I need to convert the child theme to HTML5 – which basically means a bunch of CSS work (after adding add_theme_support(‘hmtl5′); to functions.php)?

Second question – since News isn’t using HTML5 out of the box, then why is it pulling the schema code at all?

I’ve made no HTML5 modifications to functions.php (yet).

Is there a way to ‘turn off’ schema until I have the time to modify News for HTML5?

That’s correct – you would also likely need to alter functions.php since the HTML5 hooks are different from previous Genesis hooks.

It looks like Premise is adding the microdata; if you edit the landing page, do you see “Free MSP eBook by Richard Tubb” entered anywhere? I’m not able to replicate it on my end; I would also check all Premise settings and make sure it’s the latest version (2.5.3).

Well, that’s the thing – I can’t figure out why Premise is doing that. I just made a landing page on a test site running an XHTML child theme, and I’m not getting that output at the bottom of my pages. This might be a case for the Premise support team; I haven’t seen this before.

Ah…I get it. So perhaps it’s Premise that’s causing this in the first place. I’ll get with them and ask. Be back either with more questions or an answer from the Premise folks so we can close this thread.
